Episode 180 Andrew Vacante of Combust
A story long in the making. The young kid from staten island worked diligently in many bands, honing and crafting the songs and musicianship over years with little notice from the world. Yet once Combust took off, the energy and fury of classic New York Hardcore bellowed out of this new band and in the last few years finally started to get the notice and attention they deserve. They've crushed many solo tours, countless fests and we are happy to have them at TIHC 2026.

Episode 168 Chubby Fresh
A rising star in 2 bands in the 90s hardcore scene after coming up alongside the greats of the youthcrew movement, Chubby, Integrity and One Life Crew were poised to take over hardcore in a big way with Integrity on the victory roster and One Life Crew a few years later. Controversy would turn the fortune into folly and the chaotic, dramatic story of the bands unravel with beefs spreading across the midwest to NY and back.
I try to delve into some aspects of the bands, Chubbys own background and hear his perspective on everything that went down.
